L. Drake, Farmer and Washington Township Trustee Yesterday. Two enterprising white cockerel hens on the farm of B. L. Drake, well known farmer and member ol the Washington township board of trustees, perched on the top of a straw stack yesterday and each laid an egg.

Later Mr. Drake climbed the stack, preparatory to tearing it down and making room for a new stack when he discovered the eggs. The sun was broiling hot and Mr. Drake noticed that one egg appeared different. Summoning his wife he handed her the two eggs and she cracked one open.

It was so nearly cooked tnat the yolk did not run. The other had been laid later and had not been treated to the sun's rays long enough to cook. Mrs. Drake, noted for her culinary ability, declares that the one egg was at least two thirds "boiled." In commenting upon the discovery, Mr. Drake said, "In all my days on a farm, I never experienced siich a thing" and he added that even tne hen, responsible lor the egg which was so nearly cooked, looked on with awe over the sensation she had produced.

(U.R) The discovery by Dr. John McNorris, local chemist, of a new method for developing fingerprints is declared by police authorities to be the greatest contribution to crime detection since the original Bertillion experiments. McNorris is one of a group of scientists who have placed their service and laboratories at the service of police for scientific detecting of criminals. They constitute a "brain trust" of scientific consultants who give their services free, but whose identity for the most part is concealed. Under the new method it is possible to bring out latent fingerprints left on cloth, human flesh and greasy surfaces, all of which previously were impervious to fingerprinting attempts.

The new method, it is believed by the Pasadena police, wiil be valuable in detecting men who as sault women and leave fingerprints on clothing and throats of their victims. Its secret is the use of iodine fumes, which are blown through what is known as a "Sherlock Holmes" pipe against the object on which the fingerprints are believed to exist. The iodine fumes bring out prints, which originally were formed by the oil from finger pores, instead of by pressure of the finger ridges against a hard surface. A silver mirror then is placed against these prints. When it is later removed and held to the sunlight, the transposed fingerprints appear in full detail.

They then can be photographed and repro duced in whatever quantity desired. rttu szwevMi DROP the old thermometer down a couple of inches with the delicious cool refreshment that is waiting for you in those famous silver cans that bring you Pabst Export Beer.

THE PJQUA DAILY CAIX PAGE NINE SURPLUS RISES TO 21 MILLION FOR NEBRASKA State Boasts Lowest Tax Levy; Has No Sales or Income Levy. By ROBERT KELLY United Press Staff Correspondent Lincoln, July 16. (U.R Debtless Nebraska offers an example of thrift to the nation. The State closed books at the end of the fiscal year with $21,621,930 in cash and gilt edged Investments, an increase of $893,373 over the previous year. The increase in the cash account was more than $1,000,000.

Treasurer George Hall attributed this showing to better collections of taxes, particularly among farmers who have been benefitting from a rising market. Facts already widely known about Nebraska's state government are: No bonded indebtedness or any other kind of indebtedness. 5 Cent Gasoline Tax No income tax and no general sales tax. There is a 5 cent gasoline tax. The lowest tax levy for state purposes in America.

Lower general property taxes for all purposes, state, county, municipal and schools, than neighboring states that have many of the newer forms of taxes. A new Capitol, built at a cost of $10,000,000 and paid for when com The fourth largest state university in point of enrollment. Better tax collections, coupled with reduced appropriations by the last legislature, enabled Nebraska to increase its cash balance during the past year. Reason for the state's debtless status is its constitution which iimits the amount of bonded irideblMness to $100,000. Tfax Increase Fought TBbyers' leagues, newspapers, fan organizations and other groups successfully have resisted attempts to introduce a general sales tax or an income tax.

The result is that both major parties are committed to a policy of "no new taxes." The only alternative is rigid economy. The appropriation for maintenance of Gov. R. L. Cochran's office is a little more than half of that set aside by the Kansas legislature for Gov.

Alf M. Landon's staff. Nebraska's state institutions are not supported as well as those of neighboring states. Certain it is that when the unicameral legislature, a Nebraska innovation in government, convenes in January, 1937, there will be movement to boost appropriations for the state university with an enrollment of more than 10,000. Dr.

McNorris says the discovery was really due to the fact that police officers first explained to him in detail the precise problem that exists in fingerprinting and this fact spurred him on to find the solution. The entire state of Louisiana is threaded and dotted with bayous, lakes, and small streams. Much of the land that borders on these navigable waters is marsh area, which furnishes an ideal home for the state's millions of muskrat. Palm trees in the tropics, under ideal conditions, often attain a height of nearly 160 feet. This is an exceptional size, as even a tree 100 feet tall is regarded as ex Mussel shells of the Mississippi often yield valuable pearls.
